This beer tastes good but massively over carbonated, I'm blaming it on a bad batch. Makes it almost undrinkable really. Anyone else experienced this recently?
I'm not sure if they bottle condition it or pasteurise and force carb it. MHB would know as he has chummy relations with them. If it's bottle conditioned, the problem could be down to the yeast, I understand they use a UK ale yeast and some of those do tend to keep on working in the bottle if it's a batch that got bottled with the gravity still a tad high.
My first few experiences with Murray's (bottled) beers were overcarbed ****, haven't bought one since and life has been mostly good. Chalk it up to experience?
As sp0rk says. Tidal Pete and I sank a few in the pub opposite MHB's old premises last year, perfectly served. Whale Ale was the beer that finally persuaded me to buy a sack of wheat. :beerbang:
I have no refrence appart from hearing it on the am radio but i thought they were going to stop making the whale ale?
Please tell me im wrong or i am thinking of something else as i hate seeing small beers getting axed!
Same experience here. Got a 4 pack as a gift and they're way over carbed, but I've had it on tap and it's been fine. Pretty sure the label says they're bottle conditioned.
